The new register-based virtual machine still uses the same stack under the hood. The only difference is how instructions are encoded in the bytecode. By default they can read and write to any position in the stack as opposed to pushing and popping from the top. The Lua stack API already does some of this, because several operations take stack indices as arguments.

I think it was one of the first tools that
got people to consider their PC could be used
for more than word processing

Absolutely. I maintain that it did more than any other app to promote the idea of home computing during those early days.

Word processing was only kinda sorta a killer app. If you used one, you knew how superior it was to a typewriter. But most people hadn't used word processors, and the vast majority of people didn't need a typewriter anyway, so the idea of a $2,000 magic typewriter that was 10x as complicated and took up much more desk space was not that enticing to... well, most people.

But anybody could use Print Shop, and even if you didn't use Print Shop, those signs and banners were ubiquitious around schools and offices, so you'd see what other people made with Print Shop.

And the people using Print Shop weren't techies. Secretaries, moms, teachers, they all used it. That was also like a form of advertising for home computing. If you were on the fence about whether home computing was for you, the hardcore nerd in your office crunching spreadsheets all day didn't exactly inspire confidence that these machines could be used by mere mortals as well. But when your kid's 55 year old kindergarten teacher was blasting out primo banners and signs, it told you: home computing was for regular people, too.
Luckily, this is probably one of the few variables you can at least try to workaround, as you can choose/not choose flights that go over/close to warzones/Russia. Compared to unexpected issues like the typical Boeing doors falling off, that we as passengers can't really try to include when planning where to fly.
Sure, although at the time missiles weren't the biggest killer of airline passengers.
It's interesting that some municipalities copyright their laws to keep other municipalities from copying them without payment. On one hand, I can understand them seeing other places as freeloaders, benefiting from the taxpayer funded code of laws without their own taxpayers contributing to the creation of laws primarily applicable to local municipalities. On the other hand, it just seems weird for laws to restricted by copyright.
Great suggestions, we have mog in a corner somewhere too :)
"Nevermind the fact that the author isn't using the terms introvert and extrovert correctly"

Is there a correct use? The most social, outgoing people I know universally declare themselves introverts because they, like every human in history, occasionally likes some alone time to "recharge". It's similar to how everyone has OCD because they like a tidy desk.

Make being an introvert a positive trait somehow and suddenly 100% of people are introverts.

There are sort-of clinical definitions (e.g. "have a limited social bandwidth and need to recharge") but they're so broadly applicable they are worthless.

There are other traits like social phobia or anxiety that often get intermixed with those, but they are very different qualities even if they manifest in a way that might get categorized.

I do consider myself an introvert. At a young age I would see stories where someone broke the rules (in prison, military boot camp, etc) and would be relegated to solitary. They'd get outdoor time, books, often even craft materials, etc, but they were all alone all day long. I could never understand how this was a punishment. It seemed absolutely magical.
Error is a little misleading. OpenGL is likely much higher than 3.3 since op is using nvidia gpu.

The only way to actually become good is to ask the universe (and its Creator) to help us become better, in stages.

It leaves us alone until we do that, no matter how good or ill we choose to be. To actually change into a better person, whose vices are replaced by their corresponding virtues, takes external help in addition to our willful effort.

This is our situation since time immemorial.

That's an interesting notion but I think that Lua had no competition - it was almost unique in how easy it was to integrate vs the power it gives. Its popularity was inevitable that way.
The most frustrating thing about this article and most of the comments is the refusal to separate introversion/extroversion from social anxiety. If you are an introvert, you will benefit from managing the amount of social interactions and to try to eliminate low value interactions so you can spend your limited energy on important ones, either in the workplace or with friends. If you have social anxiety, then you should probably talk to a therapist to try to reduce and manage your anxiety.

I would probably also tone down the continuous generic pop-up that someone generated something. It seems a bit too frequent, repeating and generic to be trustworthy.

1. Can you elaborate a bit more on your fine-tuning process? Did you "just" feed the model a bunch of regular emojis? Have you considered using any RLHF/DPO approaches?

2. You mention you generate a vector emoji. As far as I know the flux model just generates bitmaps, how do you handle that conversion?

it does sound like a service (memory=db,methods+messages=api). it is just the level of isolation/deployment you need

> Military doesnt decide between downing an airliner and not downing it, But rather a risk between downing an missile that can “potentially” be an airliner that god knows why is in a restricted airspace, and letting it fly and risk getting killed those thousands or even millions of people (if a population centre/city) get exploded with bombs and missiles.

With zero knowledge of how well-equipped the Russian military is, could they really be so far behind that they're unable to determine the difference between an commercial airlines and a high-speed missile?

At a glance, just looking at the trajectory of this UFO for half a minute would be enough to determine if it's an airline with stable flight path, VS a missile that has some sort of trajectory that doesn't look at all like a airline. Not to mention the radar signature has to be different in at least some ways.

But again, I don't know the capability or process of the Russian military, in a high-tension environment sometimes shit just goes wrong even though it shouldn't.

Haha, very true.
It is insane how demanding and toxic some “developers” can be towards opensource creators and maintainers, as if they own them.

But on the other hand, open source or giving things out for free for people to try out and use is also a great way to find interesting friends who just want to build cool stuff together, and make new friends along the way :D
That part is prolly the only reason why I like opensource so much, it attracts certain kinds of interesting people depending on the project you’re working on.

Which reminds me that verbal and emotional abuse from parents and close family can have a severe impact reaching far into adult-hood. You can't help having internalized behaviors build around trying to avoid abuse.

If that were implemented at lower levels of government, it could increase costs for some while reducing it for others. If you're the State of Kansas and want to have software written for management of toll roads and toll payment accounts, you can spend a bunch of money developing it yourself, and then other states can freeload off your work. Or you can contract it out. If that contractor can then sell that same solution to other states, they can offer a lower rate to Kansas. But if they have to make their code available to all, they'll have to charge Kansas the full cost of development. If you're Nebraska and want to do the same thing as Kansas a few years later, you get a benefit from the spending Kansas has already done. Nebraska wins, Kansas loses.
I think it's entirely a legal dodge to pretend that they aren't gutting the non-profit mission.
Maybe I’m missing it in this article or elsewhere on the website, but how exactly is OpenAI’s vision of making AGI going to “benefit humanity as as a whole”?

I’m not asking to be snarky or imply any hidden meaning…I just don’t see how they plan on getting from A to B.

From this recent press release the answer seems to be: make ChatGPT really good and offer it for free to people to use. Which is a reasonable answer, I suppose, but not exactly one that matches the highfalutin language being used around AGI.
Yes, but it will also waste 200MB of the attacker's bandwidth, which is a more limited resource.
At the end of the day, web3 is just the web with a new payment processor (a blockchain)

That payment processor just has no support, no UX team, no security team, and nobody to hold accountable.

It’s actually a more trust based system than what we have. Instead of trusting a single payment provider, you need to trust a wallet extension, the website you’re on, and the contract you’re interacting with.

Any failure in judgement is also irreversible.

It’s just a really bad solution to a problem most people don’t even know exists.

“Our plan is to transform our existing for-profit into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) with ordinary shares of stock…The non-profit’s significant interest in the existing for-profit would take the form of shares in the PBC at a fair valuation determined by independent financial advisors.”

The details here matter and is bs. What should take place is this, OpenAI creates a new for profit entity (PBC, or whatever structure). That company sets an auction for 5-10% of the shares. This yields the valuation. The new company acquires the old company with equity, using the last valuation. So say $30b is raised for 10%, means $300B.

So the $160B becomes like 53% and then 63% with the 10% offer. So the non-profit keeps 37% plus whatever it owns of the current for profit entity.

Auction means the price is fair and arms-length, not trust me bro advisors that rug pull valuations.

I believe on this path, Elon Musk has a strong claim to get a significant portion of the equity owned by the non-profit, given his sizable investment when a contemporaneous valuation of the company would have been small.
> With zero knowledge of how well-equipped the Russian military is, could they really be so far behind that they're unable to determine the difference between an commercial airlines and a high-speed missile

If they exclude radar signature of commercial airliners, and let them fly, it will just make weapon makers start designing high-speed missiles with the radar signature of an airliner lol.

There is a reason why a lot of military and sci-fi movies have the phrase “aircraft with radar signature of a bird” , anything that the military excludes or allows to pass off, just becomes the cloning target of missile makers under the tag of “camouflage”.

> A highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.

That is not the real definition of AGI. The real "definition" can mean anything at this point and in their leaked report from the Information [0] they have defined it as "returning $100 billion or so in profits"

In other words raise more money until they reach AGI. This non-profit conversion to for-profit is looking like a complete scam from the original mission [1] when they started out:

> Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.

"AGI" at this point is a meaningless term abused to fleece investors to raise billions for the displacement of jobs either way which that will "benefit humanity" with no replacement or alternative for those lost jobs.

This is a total scam.

The United States is a primarily open society. Keeping something as easily transportable as source code from another nation-state is nearly impossible. Even during the Cold War, the Soviets were able to accelerate the development of Buran due to how much information they were able to get about the US Space Shuttle. Things were far less connected and far more secure back then. Today it would be incredibly difficult to secure so much source code.
Introversion is not the same as shyness.

If AGI were in reach, why would something so human as money matter to these people? The choice to transition to a more pocket-lining structure is surely a vote of no-confidence in reaching AGI anytime soon.

This seems exactly backwards. At this scale you can establish as much "bespokeness" as you want. The investors want in and will sign pretty much anything.

> - Ghostty slows down rendering significantly if the window is obscured completely (not visible)

About this. For whatever reason, I often end up with foreground windows (e.g. Chrome) covering the background window entirely, except for a sliver a few pixels wide.

Would Ghostty handle this case? I don't believe there's any point in full-speed rendering if less than a single line of text is shown, but the window isn't technically obscured completely.
Yup, I'm doing the same. So far the majority of authors I've contacted have been happy to add RSS.
Right now, we increasingly like to stick labels on things, and I'm not sure it's helpful.

Autism is a disorder, diagnosed in DSM V. Very few people in your life are likely to be autistic. As with many such things, it's a spectrum. Unless those cross a pathological threshold, it's not autism. Few SWEs are over that threshold.

We used to call people "nerdy," "quirky," or other things (and it was okay to be that). That's in the natural spread of human personalities. If you're 5% of the way towards dyslexia, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or whatever else, it's in the range of human personalities, not disorders.

It's helpful to understand how different people work. Most SWEs and introverts share some characteristics with people with autism, and reading about autism can help understand oneself by interpolation. However, the label is not fair either people with actual autism, or to people without autism who believe they have it.

Footnote: My experience is that extrovert versus introvert is mostly a function of whether you're invigorated by interacting with people or tired by it, and especially by people you don't know well. Yes, social skills are helpful, a skill one can develop, and important to one's career, but so are math or medicine. A good strategy for an introvert is to partner with an extrovert.
